Wrong...

The Wilson antennas have a dead short to DC in the coil, and they're
SUPPOSED to.. AT RF, the impedance is close to 50 ohms. It's a hard
concept to wrap your head around, but a short at DC in a tapped coil
matching network is perfectly normal. You do NOT need to replace your
coil.

Unscrew your coil from the base and check for continuity. Check the coax
base, then check the coil.I just found out last night that there is a dead
short in the coil on mine. If that's the case you need to replace the coil.
I went through 2 PL-289 ends thinking it was my soldering skills until I
checked it with a multimeter. Let us know what you come up with!
